“Cannot remember the kind woman’s name who helped me out but I went in one day very distressed and knew I needed an aura cleanse. Whoever was working pointed me in the right direction and I’ve gotten very lucky these past few days with my life and things causing me stress and anxiety and I know it’s because of her recommendations! Her wonderful energy as well! If you see this and maybe remember me, thank you so much! Loved aura spray the most.”
“Amazing Museum, gems are well displayed and information about the gems is included. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you to the staff for making my visit memorable and very pleasant. I plan on visiting this Museum again this month.”

“Had a wonderful experience with Robert in designing and building a new stained glass window. Can’t say how impressed I was with the quality of his work and the artistry that he brings to the realization of everything had in mind. It’s now a. Integral part of our household and now that summer has come the full potential of the glass has come to life.”
“I learned about Janice and her work via a Block Club Chicago podcast, and I reached out to request custom painted ornaments as a holiday gift. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish - Janice's communication was great and and the ornaments turned out fantastic, even better than I had hoped. The recipient was thrilled! Really happy to have found AponteArt and Janice's amazing artistry.”
“This place is awesome. There’s a wide variety of glazes. You can also get clay, tools and other supplies. Their hours are limited, but if you can make it out there m, it’s worth the drive.”

“Have purchased a few prints here and most recently at the Other Art Fair for their Dead Presidents show.
Always a great experience and love the work and their dedication to Chicago Artists!”
“My son loves Gamespace, and my husband and I enjoy it too. The special exhibits we have seen (Tron, Q'bert) have been robust for the small space. The classic games on the 2nd floor are always fun to revisit. Staff is friendly and informative. Follow up a visit with a stop by Challengers Comics on Western, walk on the 606, or ice cream at Margie's.”
“Well rounded art gallery with some extras. Friendly gallerists, which isn't always the case. Good programming and openness to try things - we visited for their collaboration with Vertical Gallery.”
“I absolutely love this place and it makes me wish I lived in west town neighborhood so I could visit more often!! The owner is an absolutely wonderful soul and the chicago art scene is a better place because of her!”
“Just wanted to give a shout-out to a wonderful staff who more than fixed my mixed-up gift order from the holidays. They were attentive, responsive and generous. Thank you!”
“If you want to learn more about printmaking, start here. If you want to begin collecting art, and you'd like to start with an affordable option, start here! The owner and director, Deborah, is an artistic force of nature. An aesthetic whirlwind. And pay special attention to their holiday sale. This is a fantastic place to get a special kind of present!”
“Tessarae is such a warm, inviting place full of the kindest people. We had my daughter's birthday party there and it was a great experience. The environment was very inviting and comfortable, our group of teens had a really fun time doing a painting lesson together. We're looking forward to returning for painting lessons and art anytime in the future!”
“I just want to thank them, the whole family for doing such a nice job on my projects through the years. I opened up another order of 5 frames and was so happy with the packaging, craftsmanship, and end product. So nice. Thank you!”

“I have taken Sandy Dawson’s (Sam) art classes for adults for a few years and participated in several workshops.Sam is a wonderful teacher and has worked with all ages, from preschool through adult. She naturally cultivates a warm, supportive learning environment. The students who have specific interests build upon their skills and learn new techniques as they improve. Other students experiment with different media. They begin to develop their strengths and preferences. No one is ever discouraged from trying something “new.”Sam’s comments are never criticisms. They are suggestions, instructional tools and explorations of strategies meant to inspire.”
“A wonderful concert at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art. The pianist Myroslav Mikhailenko and violinist Julia Perekhoznuk delivered a beautiful, expressive performance with great chemistry and emotional depth. An intimate evening of music that was both moving and memorable.”
“For our first experience with costuming framing, we can’t be happier with how our pieces turned out. Angela was a pleasure to work with and helped us find a wood that pairs perfectly with our decor. We’re looking forward to coming back for future projects!”
“We had a small gathering here at the gallery for an event unrelated to the usual art happenings in the gallery. This is space that serves for community and creativity. The exhibitions are vibrant. The gallery staff and art itself engage the patrons at every event.”
“I've been shopping with them for over 15 years & never regretted it. Even during pandemic I shopped with them. Bea educated me on a lot of things that stuck with me throughout the years. I shared wholesale resources with him also. My experiences have been enjoyable & I highly recommend him. Business friends that seem like family. He always remember the conversations we had about my children & never failed to ask about them. All around great people.”
“Had a blast at this, somewhat, hidden Chicago gem. Dave was helpful finding stuff in the store and playing some tracks I had questions about. Will definitely be back.”
“I highly recommend Frame Factory. Recently had Allah’s 99 attributes framed they did an amazing job for a reasonable price. Also, they provide excellent customer service!”
“The team at Osio-Brown Editions makes awesome digital images of my artwork for reproductions and merch on my website. I love the 8 x10 proof prints that you get with each artwork that is photographed and the care and handling of my originals. The first time I used their services was about 10 years ago and they were awesome back then. I recently used them to photograph more art and get a few giclee prints for my family. The finished qualities of the prints and the digital image files were stunning. Adam and his crew know exactly what us picky artists require and expect of the finished product and services that we purchase with our hard earned money. You can check out my webpage to see the proof of their digital image professionalism.

“Heaven Gallery is a warm, inviting, multi-purpose space with great vibes. Love the vintage touches. I've been to several different kinds of events here and enjoyed them all.”

“I found a great rug for my son's apartment and some very cool earrings. I love browsing her store. Her sense of style is beautiful and uncomplicated. Love it.”
